CHARLESTON, S.C., March 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- City Wide Facility Solutions, the nation's leading commercial facility management company, raised more than $580,000 for GiGi's Playhouse at its annual franchise convention in Charleston.

City Wide's mission is to create a Ripple Effect by positively impacting the people and communities it supports. Franchisees from more than 100 City Wide franchise locations came together to support the organization, which was selected by City Wide Facility Solutions of Charleston, as part of their ongoing partnership and support of the nonprofit.

"GiGi's plays an important role in supporting the entire Down Syndrome community. They provide vital resources for children, adults, and families impacted by Down Syndrome," said Rick Cobden, owner of City Wide Facility Solutions of Charleston. "I firmly believe in supporting the local Charleston community and the money raised will have a big impact on helping GiGi's open their Charleston location, which will be their first in South Carolina."

GiGi's mission is to change the way the world views Down Syndrome and to see a world where individuals with Down Syndrome are accepted and embraced in their families, schools, and communities. GiGi's delivers on this mission through the delivery of free educational, therapeutic-based, and career development programs

"One of the most awe-inspiring moments received from franchise owners and the City Wide network was their enthusiasm and love for our non-profit made it clear that City Wide has an internal culture that every organization needs to replicate," said Nancy Gianni, founder of GiGi's Playhouse. "The money they raised will go a long way in helping us open our first location in South Carolina and will have a tremendous impact on supporting our kids in Charleston, and throughout the country. I am honestly so inspired to know corporations like City Wide exist."
